Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Kilifi County

Moreen was a great host. the house is beautiful and has a view to die for. Moreen was responsive and helpful during our stay and was able to sort out a few issues we had with the fridge. I would definitely be back

Fabulous little important, in a peaceful area close to the beach. Adhiambo was an incredible host too, always easily contactable and flexible. Charming place to stay in Kilifi. Only (small) issue was with apartment wifi. I went to Kilifi for a four week work trip and the internet was not great for calls so had to hotspot from my phone a lot. OK in general (emails/browsing) but not strong enough for calls. But there is some excellent places/cafes near by with good internet coverage. And when there were a few power cuts Adhiambo was incredibly helpful and responsive with updates.

the appartment was very big and amazing. it had many rooms and bathrooms, even more than the photos. the beach is like 15 mins away but the way there is beautiful and someone will take you there from the appartment and they can also take you back if you need. there are shops and restaurants nearby. I recommend this place

An amazing quiet serene place , very clean and fresh house. The host ,Winnie is so helpful and responsive. Really enjoyed our stay there 💯

I wanted a quiet cozy place and I got exactly that and more. Emma was very helpful and the location was convenient. Highly recommend

Great place, Great people and staff there to take care of you. I love Watamu and it's sweet people

I had an amazing stay in Watamu! The space was incredibly spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained. I absolutely loved everything about it—from the cozy interior to the spacious rooms. It's also perfectly located, just a short walk from the beach, which made the experience even more special. A truly lovely place that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. I’d definitely come back.

This place is an absolute gem. My girlfriend and I had to extend our stay and needed a quite place to work remotely. This was it! Very peaceful, great internet and very temperate (never got too hot). Philippe, the host, was super responsive and very accomodating to our needs. Also the kitchen was superb, for any foody looking for a well equipped kitchen, this is the place. As for the location, it is very central, a 5 minute walk to both beaches, a new cafe just opened up on the corner for those looking for fresh croissants in the morning and there is a great gym about 1 minutes walk from the apartment. Loved it... and we will be back :)

The space is exactly what you want for a beach getaway with friends - beautiful coastline and sea views off the back verandah. The staff are incredibly helpful yet unobtrusive, and being on Bofa Road means the rest of Kilifi is easily accessible. Highly recommended!

Lorine’s place is amazing! I feel like the antique furniture and aesthetics of the colonial styles was flawless! I will definitely be recommending this place to all of my friends in the future. I can’t wait to come again to see the wonderful puppy/guard dog who is always so friendly! Thank you Lorine and Emmanuel!

Home from home! A beautiful spot - gorgeous gardens, a fabulous swimming pool and a lovely home with lots of space to spread out and relax. Tess is the host with the most. From the initial booking information until our departure, Tess made sure we had everything we needed and more. She had great recommendations for the local area and was keen to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We really can’t rate her enough. The team of staff led by Daniel, the chef, were also amazing. Daniel’s cooking was suburb- our evening meals were restaurant standard. We particularly enjoyed the locally caught seafood. All in all, an amazing stay in a gorgeous spot!

Joanna’s place was amazing. My daughter with 6 friends went there and Joanna was very supportive and welcoming. The house is large, breezy, in great conditions, with large en suite rooms. The girls had a cook who helped prepare breakfast and dinner for a very reasonable prize , the pool was cleaned daily and the place was excellent for groups of families or friends. I would highly recommend and we will definitely go back !

WOW!! What a fabulous trip had by all!! 8 adults and 1 baby stayed for 10 nights at Shuma house. We had an incredible trip. Shuma is breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful, you really feel at one with nature here!. Shuma house itself is stunning, plenty of space for everyone, all the rooms are quirky, spacious and full of personality. The staff were all very welcoming and accommodating, and all work incredibly hard to ensure we are well fed and looked after. Martin, Shumas chef cooked us the most delicious meals night after night! Lots of choice and flexibility with meal choices/timings/allergies etc. Robert was amazing and tended to our every need, especially our daughter Elkies needs! Thank you all so much for making our trip to Shuma House absolutely fabulous! It was an emotional goodbye, but it certainly wont be the last!! We will be back!! Thank you! 🤩

Enjoyed the stay. Beautiful views of the ocean. My family and I left very relaxed.

The villa was clean and well taken care of. Me and my brother loved our stay in watamu and our stay in the villa. The villa was simple and beautiful and was a great place to spend some quality time in and enjoy a good nights sleep.

This is our 5th visit to The Beach House. We keep coming back for a bunch of reasons. Rehema, Ali and the rest of the staff are the best. The location right on the water with perfect views is unbeatable. Communication with Rory is consistently great. The top porch is some of my favorite square footage on the planet. And … have I mentioned how terrific Rehema is?

Had an excellent stay at Pam's place. Great location, on the beach, close to restaurants. The place was well equipped with everything you need. Pam is a great host, quick response. Can absolutely recommend the place

Rita was an absolutely wonderful host. She allowed us to check in earlier since we were travelling from far. In fact , she was awake when we arrived early in the morning to usher us in. The house was clean, spacious and super beautiful. The surrounding were green and well maintained. The staff at the house were really helpful and the place felt very secure. We enjoyed our stay at this house. We enjoyed the food that was prepared for us by the host and the chill and relaxing atmosphere created for the guest. I would highly recommend this place and I will be back again soon. Thank you for making our stay in Watamu memorable.

⸻ I had a wonderful stay at this BnB during my vacation! The host was absolutely amazing—super responsive and always willing to help with anything we needed. The environment was very kid-friendly, which made it perfect for our family. The surroundings were clean and well-maintained, and we felt completely safe thanks to the excellent security. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and worry-free stay.

Absolutely fabulous place. I would highly recommend it. Rachel had clear instructions and was always available to help. The place was clean and has everything you need. There is so much to do in the area, Malindi is a lovely place to visit. Musa was very helpful and showed us around making sure we got everything we needed. Thank you for having us.

We had a wonderful week at Nadia's place. It was super clean and a lovely lovely space (with a great pool). Would definitely recommend

Such a wonderful place to relax and enjoy your vacation. Both the host and the staff were responsive and ready to assist. -Clean pool -Clean rooms -Clean and available cutlery -Clean compound Would highly recommend if you are visiting Watamu; it's a home far away from home. Thank you Ettore

Marie's place was superb! We had an early arrival to Mombasa which Marie gladly accomodated. She was responsive and a phone call away incase we needed anything. Thank you Marie! We will visit again
